What Is Wrong With This Picture??? Shouldn’t A Nicki Minaj Barbie Have “Some” Color?

We told you about Nicki Minaj getting her official Barbie on last week but now that we see this doll, we’re wondering how Nicki approved this one? The description on the CharityBuzz website that is auctioning off the doll reads: Hey dolls, it’s finally happened! Your fave Harajuku Barbie has collaborated with her doll idol and the result is FAB! Nicki Minaj has recently been named Billboard’s Rising Star of the Year but now the rapper, singer and songwriter is larger than life as an over-the-top 11 ½” fashion doll. Nicki’s original one-of-a-kind likeness is beautiful in a dazzling replica of the frothy dress from her Pink Friday album. She practically floats in wispy layers of silk charmeuse and shimmering tulle, and of course, she’s rockin’ some Barbie® bling! From Nicki’s cotton-candy pink hair, to her hand-rooted eye lashes, doll-tastic designer Stephen Sumner recreated every signature detail, right down to the tattoo on Nicki’s left arm. He even hand-placed each crystal accent on her jewelry. This a-mazing original one-of-a-kind Nicki Minaj doll comes with a certificate of authenticity and a display case that is a gorgeous homage to her Pink Friday album. Muah dolls….from Barbie® and Nicki! Hey Stephen Sumner, you good work on the lashes but you forgot something very important… THE MELANIN!!! What’s the deal? Did they think a Nicki doll with brown skin and African-American features wouldn’t sell??? Is this worse than the Beyonce L’Oreal skin lightening fiasco? More On Bossip!

How Beyonce Felt About Kelly Rowland Sharing Her Secret [VIDEO]

Originally posted here:

After Kelly Rowland accidentally revealed that Beyonce and Jay-Z are having a baby girl, it would be understandable for Beyonce to be upset with her friend. Katie Couric asked Bey what she thought about Kelly’s loose lips during their interview on ABC’s “20/20,” and Beyonce didn’t seem upset about it at all. Beyonce playfully responded to Katie’s question by asking, “Did she?” And then placed her finger by her bottom lip and said, “Hmmm?” Beyonce also discussed directing her new concert DVD, pregnancy cravings, fake baby bump reaction from her family, parting ways with her father and former manager Mathew Knowles.

Beyonce Knowles Interview With Katie Couric: Pregnancy, Biggest Accomplishment Of The Year, And Touring [Video]

Katie Couric and Beyonce are good friends… we hear: When Katie Couric greeted Beyonce Knowles with a hug before their “20/20″ interview, she couldn’t resist giving the world’s most famous, fabulous and fierce baby belly a little rub. “I bet your mom does it all the time, and your sister,” Couric said. “Oh yeah. I mean, I can’t walk. I have somebody holding me and hugging, and there’s going to be so much love around the baby,” Knowles said, laughing. Last summer, while Knowles performed four nights of sold-out shows at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom, a sequinned mini-dress was strategically draped over her growing belly. The concerts have been captured on a DVD, “Live at Roseland: Elements of 4,” which was released this week. Knowles, 30, already has the resume of a legend: singer, songwriter, actor, fashion designer and model. So it’s no surprise that for the concert film she was performer, director, choreographer and producer — all in one. PHOTOS: Beyonce Through the Years Beyonce’s co-parent and husband is, of course, hip-hop star/mogul Jay-Z. In August, Jay was among the thrilled onlookers when Knowles “announced” her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards. Knowles sang her hit “Love On Top” — while hiding her secret under her top. After the song, she opened her jacket and rubbed her belly, smiling. Turn the page for the 7-Minute preview to the interview tonight.

“Gwynnie From The Block” Gwyneth Paltrow Talks Race, Ethnic Hair, Bestie Beyonce, And Rihanna On “The Tanning Effect” With Steve Stoute [VIDEO]

Gwyneth sat with Steve Stoute to discuss her experience with urban culture and how it influenced her and her family. Long before captivating moviegoers across the globe with her award-winning acting skills, Gwyneth Paltrow was front and center of a pivotal cultural shift. While growing up in Santa Monica, California, her father, Bruce Paltrow, created and wrote for the late ’70s CBS drama “The White Shadow,” which examined racial stereotypes in America and exposed the actress to many seminal television “Tanning” moments. As she explains in HuffPost Black Voices latest episode of “The Tanning Effect,” Paltrow witnessed her father’s impact at the time on American society. “I think the most ‘Tanning’ that I saw during that phase of my life was my dad, [who] created, wrote and directed a TV show called ‘The White Shadow,’ about a white basketball coach teaching basketball in an inner-city school,” she explained. “And that show that he did — I mean, obviously we were there a lot, but it was interesting to see that culturally start to permeate. And he did a lot of ‘firsts’ on that show. He had the first interracial kiss ever. It was a good show.” (Editor’s Note: As a point of fact, the first televised interracial kiss was between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols on “Star Trek” in 1968.) So Gwyneth is really down with the culture huh? Chris Martin better keep her close by before one of these young brothas start spittin’ game at her!

Rihanna to Take Year-Long Hiatus From Music?

A physically and mentally exhausted Rihanna recently solicited words of wisdom from none other than Beyonce, the wife of her frequent collaborator Jay-Z. B’s advice was simple: Rest. According to the UK’s Daily Mail , Rihanna had a near “meltdown” on the European leg of her 101-date tour and turned to Beyonce to help her stay strong. Beyonce, in turn, told the 23-year-old singer to consider taking a year off from show business altogether after the culmination of her massive tour to res. Whether the headstrong star actually follows through on that is another story, but if RiRi’s weekend tweet is any indication, Beyonce’s words resonated. “I’m so light-headed! WTF!!!!!” Rihanna wrote on Twitter after a performance in Dublin, which was nearly canceled due to her fragile, over-worked state. So could 2012 be a light one for Rihanna pictures and songs? Although it’s hard to imagine such a thing, Beyonce is always right. Don’t cross the queen. [Photo: WENN.com]

Did Keri Hilson Diss Beyonce During Soul Train Interview? [VIDEO]

Go here to see the original:

The Beyonce vs. Keri Hilson beef is still going strong. Back in 2008, Decatur native Keri reportedly threw shade on the “Turnin’ Me On” remix when she called Bey out on her inability to write her own lyrics; she even used a line from the hit “Irreplaceable.” “She can sing, but need to move it ‘to the (left)’ / She need to go have some babies / She needs to sit down, she fadin’… / Go ‘head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs / I been puttin you on, just check the credits ho.” Three years later, Keri still shows no love for Bey. This weekend, when on the red carpet at the 2011 Soul Train Awards, Keri was being interviewed by a magazine that asked her to hold up their latest issue. Unfortunately for them, Beyonce and her hubby Jay-Z were on the cover and Keri simply handed the mag back and denied their request. Ha! Watch below!
